If I want to exchange something for something else, for instance: "Two cans of formula in exchange for a fish aquarium with an air pump." Would I word it the other way around, or is this correct? (Like meaning, would I reverse that phrase)? I want to give someone thae formula and them give me the aquarium.

It's okay the way you have it. "In exchange for" implies that you are giving the formula and want the aquarium, but you could add "Giving" in front of the formula to make it more clear. Or you could put "Looking to exchange formula for aquarium" or "Have formula, want aquarium - even trade".

I would write it as.
I have two cans of formula and am willing to exchange these for an aquarium and pump.
